but you can't score with your arm, so he's not offside"
A quote from Jermaine Jenas after Spurs take the lead against Man City.
tell that to thierry henry.
Shows once again that players generally don’t know the rules.
Confused by this thread. I had the game on and was more than happy that Jenas, rather than the execrable McManaman, was covering it. The incident was a key one and Jenas explained it well but seems to be getting mocked on here because he knows what the rule is. Maybe I'm missing something.
I didn’t see the game, and on first reading the original post seemed to suggest that Jenas was saying the player was offside by way of his arm. On closer inspection, the original post doesn’t say that, but it’s confusing as the post title and content are part of what same sentence. I guess the op just found Jenas’ comment funny , i.e he’s offside but he’s not offside.
He's getting an arm-erring on Twitter.
I like Jenas comes across as a nice bloke and talks sense most of the time
I was once ruled offside by an attractive young lineswoman after my jockstrap came loose as I was tearing down the wing. Luckily the referee overuled the decision, but the official running the line was adamant that I was a least a foot offside!
This has got ridiculous now. Are they going to give off side because a toe was further forward than the last defender? For me, the rule should be the same as the ball going out of play - all of the ball over all of the line and all of the player in front of all of the last defender.
